Andrew said a quiet hello to the parents and grandparents of his friends. Terra, Josh, and Karli left almost right away. He wished them all a good summer holiday, and turned to Berii.
"I hope you're right," he said, trying to smile. "About Cassidy. I hope she comes."
He felt a flicker of hope within himself, and his smile broadened. He looked at Berii, feeling his heart become full. What should he say...?
"Andrew, dear!" his mother's voice came from within the crowd. He saw her fast approaching, looking rather frantic, though this was nothing new. "Come on, dear! We've got to get going!"
"See you in the fall," Andrew said to Berii softly. He ran his hand through his spiky blond hair nervously, and before he lost his nerve, he leaned down to her and planted a soft, quick kiss on her cheek. "Have a good summer. Keep in touch."
In the next instant, he was gone.
